Watch our webinar that uncovers the significant yet often overlooked emissions embedded within supply chains. This session will help you understand the true scope of your carbon footprint and how to tackle it effectively.
Here are some questions that were answered during the live Q&A session:
- In your experience, is it likely large multi-national corporations are unlikely to answer specific questions on the caron emissions of the goods being supplied to you? If so, what is the alternative to spending time reading through lengthy ESG reports to try and find the detail you are looking for that will help with a carbon estimation?
- Where would you say is ok to draw the line of what can and can’t be measured? As some categories are near impossible to measure especially if you rely on lots of third parties.
- How to collect supply chain emission data?
- What all software skills one must acquire with respect to supply chain management and ESG and carbon footprint?
- In the FMCG sector, how does a company measure scope 3.1 emissions and set targets if their suppliers are mostly traders and not the manufacturers of products?
- Do carbon footprint calculations for plant-based raw material suppliers take into account the carbon sequestration capacity of the cultivated plants themselves and their contribution to air purification during the growing phase (particularly for perennial crops)?
- Is it acceptable for a processing company to calculate the carbon footprint on behalf of its agricultural raw material suppliers, given that most small farmers lack the resources or capacity to do it themselves?
- Does a renewable energy investment have an impact on reducing scope 3 emissions?
